function amt_start(varargin)
%amt_start Start the Auditory Modeling Toolbox
% Usage: amt_start;
% amt_start(flags);
%
% AMT_START starts the AMT. This command must be
% run before using any of the function in the AMT.
%
% Requirements to run the AMT
% ---------------------------
%
% 1) Linear Time Frequency Analysis Toolbox (*LTFAT*): Download LTFAT from
% <http://ltfat.sourceforge.net/> and unpack to the prepared
% directory thirdparty/ltfat. Alternatively, save the LTFAT anywhere and add
% the root LTFAT (just the root!) path to the search path.
%
% 2) The SOFA API (version >= 1.0): Download the SOFA API from <http://sourceforge.net/projects/sofacoustics>
% and unpack to the prepared directory thirdparty/SOFA. Alternatively, save
% the SOFA API anywhere and add the root path of the SOFA API (just the root!) to the search path.
%
% 3) The SFS Toolbox (version >= 2.4.0). Download from <https://github.com/sfstoolbox/sfs-matlab/releases> and
% unpack to the prepared directory thirdparty/sfs. Alternatively, save
% the SFS Toolbox anywhere and add the path to the search path.
%
% 4) Python (version >= 2.6 but < 3) with the packages numpy and scipi.
% On Linux, type sudo apt-get install python-scipy python-numpy.
% On Windows, intall python from <https://www.python.org/>, add python.exe to the Windows search path,
% and install the packages separately.
% 5) AMT_MEX executed without any errors. See AMT_MEX for compiler requirements.
%
% Note that some models may further require other toolboxes. See the corresponding documentation for more details.
%
%
% Cache:
% ------
%
% AMT uses cache to store precalculated results because some of the AMT functions
% require large processing time. Depending on the machine and the model, it might take
% even days. The global cache mode is controlled on start-up of the AMT. To change the
% global cache mode choose a flags:
%
% 'normal' Use cached package as far as possible. This is default.
% This is kind of demonstration mode and very convenient
% for fast access of results like plotting figures.
% This option, however, may by-pass the actual processing and thus
% does not always test the actual functionality of a model.
% If the cached package locally not available, downloaded from the internet.
% If remotely not available, enforce recalculation.
%
% 'cached' Enforce to use cached package. If the cached package is
% locally not available, it will be downloaded from the internet.
% If it is remotely not available, an error will be thrown.
%
% 'redo' Enforce the recalculation of the package. This option
% actually tests the calculations.
%
% 'localonly' Package will be recalculated when locally
% not available. Do not connect to the internet.
%
% Many AMT functions support the cache mode as input flag in order to
% overwrite the global cache mode. See AMT_CACHE for more details.
%
%
% Auxiliary data
% --------------
%
% Most of the models require auxiliary data. The AMT will download these data on-demand.
% The download URL for the auxiliary data is given by amt_auxdataurl.
% The target directory for the auxiliary data is given by amt_auxdatapath.
% If you want to run the AMT offline, download the auxiliary data first.
%
% Some of the auxiliary data are HRTFs. The AMT will download the HRTFs on-demand.
% The download URL for the HRTFs is given by SOFAdbURL.
% The target directory for the HRTFs is given by SOFAdbPath.
% If you want to run the AMT offline, download the HRTFs first.
%
% Output
% ------
%
% The output of the messages to the command line can be controlled by one
% of the following flags:
%
% 'verbose' All output will be displayed. This is default.
%
% 'documentation' starts the AMT in the documentation compiling
% mode. The output of calculation progress will be suppressed.
%
% 'silent' All output will be suppressed.
%
%
% Go to http://amtoolbox.sourceforge.net/doc.php for the full documentation.
